Persuasion & Jane Eyre Jewelry

I made another few pieces of book page bead jewelry,  from Persuasion and Jane Eyre. I had special requests for bracelets using beads made from pages of those books, so while I was at it, I made a few extra things! The first is this Persuasion necklace:

And with some leftover Jane Eyre beads and some plain white beads from another project, I made this bracelet:

I used this kind of closure for something a bit different, and added a pearl as well; I like how it looks :)

 

These will both be in my etsy shop soon!

Leaves and Owls

I particularly love these new pieces... a necklace and a bracelet both in neutral colours, and strung along with some wooden beads. I kind of like the natural wood with the paper beads! :)

I put a second strand on the necklace, and really like how it looks! 

Then with mostly wooden beads and a few left over paper beads from another necklace, I made this bracelet:

Seriously, isn't this the cutest owl pendant? I love it! 

Keep your eye out for this new stuff in my etsy shop! 

Turtles and Fish

I've been working hard making lots of stuff with some new pendants I just got. I've been so looking forward to making some new things with these! So first I made this super cute necklace for my friend's daughter with a turtle pendant on it, which I absolutely love! I'm definitely going to be making myself a necklace with one of these turtle pendants because they're just so cute!

I also got some really nice fish pendants that I was excited to use, so I made these two bracelets so far:

I used some stones in between the beads just for something a little different. :)

And I did the second bracelet all paper beads again... back to the basics!

A Matching Set

I posted pictures of the funky new bracelet I made the other day, and so I wanted to post now to show the new pieces I made that are sort of similar to it. Using longer/thicker paper makes these rounder beads, which are pretty fun... and these were in such bright colours that I was extra fun to work with them! So I put together a choker necklace, and a matching bracelet. Enjoy!

You can find the necklace in my etsy shop here and the bracelet here! 

My Latest "Literary Fashion" Jewelry

My all-time favourite Jane Austen novel is Persuasion, and I knew it was my friend's favourite too, so it didn't surprise me when she asked if I could make her a bracelet using pages from Persuasion. I got to work right away, and made two different styles. The one made specifically for her is the second bracelet in this batch of photos... the vertical beads; and the horizontal bead bracelet is now in my etsy shop! Next Literary Fashion book beads will be taken from Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre! So watch out for those!

I took these few photos on my latest purchase of Persuasion... a gorgeous material binding :)

I was glad to get a few beads that read "Captain," "Elliot," or "Wentworth" on this one ;)

New Style

A few days ago I got quite a bit of junk mail in my mailbox at my apartment, and while looking at it I realized I could probably make some pretty good beads out of it! There were some long brochure-like ads with lots of colour, so I figured it would be worth cutting them up and using them for something! They ended up being nice round beads that were good and fat. So I thought I'd try a new style of bracelet with them. I first connected them to a bit of chain...

I used different small beads on either side of the paper beads for extra style

Then I just kind of kept going, and made another strand similar to this one, and then used some of my other longer/smaller beads to string a 3rd strand. I put them all together, and got this:

I really like it! Something totally different, and fun! It's for sale on my etsy shop for $12! Check it out! 

Workin' Hard

Sorry I haven't written the past few days! I've been getting lots of requests, and making lots of stuff to fill those requests! I've made a few bracelets, a necklace, and have been rolling lots of beads to prepare for more! So here are a few pictures of things I've made the past three days:

A lovely Peacock Necklace (I love these bead colours!)

Dragonfly Bracelet

Another Dragonfly Bracelet, with a Love tag

This super cute owl charm bracelet was made for my friend's daughter

And just for kicks, here's a sleepy hello from kitty, my little helper ;)

Have a great day everyone! Hope to have some new stuff in stock for you soon!
